      I’ve been playing something up lately. See, I didn’t know of that interview where Donald Trump said he has never asked god for forgiveness. I somehow only seen it recently.

      So, I told some folks that a man came and asked me, “Would you trust a man who said he never once asked god for forgiveness, that he doesn’t think in those terms?” and he wanted me to think on it, and he’d return and tell me why he asked me. I told them it was an odd question, and when he returned to tell me why he asked I’d share it with them.

      They all answered with something along the lines of, “no! Who could live on this world and never ask for forgiveness? Can’t be a good person.”

      Do you think they took off their Trump hats?

      Have you ever sat down and talked to a Trumper about politics? I don’t mean dismissing everything they say and calling them stupid, I mean actually listened and asked them questions? I just did that a couple days ago and it was a real wakeup call for me. Holy fucking shit was that person crazy! It’s not like a couple of differences of opinion. It’s a thousand different topics that they’re completely detached from reality on. Literally every single thing this person said was bat shit crazy, far-right propaganda, engineered to make them impossible to reason with. I ended up just wishing them a nice day and moving on with my life, deciding never to speak to them again. I do not see how we can ever get these people back to normalcy. It’s insane, man… and sad.

        Oh yes. One person started by calling Biden a puppet, which - in a sense of being beholden to corps etc I could kinda see - but then they went off about him being an actual (animatronic, robotic) puppet controlled by Bill Gates and i kinda exited that convo as fast as I could…

          Haha. It’s … Well idk what the fuck it is. These people are beyond help. Are they all trolling? Is 35% of the population of the United States all-in on one big trolling game? It’s so preposterous that I don’t see how they can be serious.
